Thus, T-stop takes into account every reflection or absorption due to the lens. It can be considered as an effective (versus theoretical) way of measuring the aperture.

Since T-stops are measuring the effective light gathering ability of a lens they are more relevant for exposure times/shutter speeds, choice of ISO and so on. But for depth of field, the f-stop is relevant, while the T-stop is completely irrelevant. You can proof that quite simply by putting a ND filter on your lens. Light gathering will be reduced (greatly, depending on the filter) but DOF will stay the same - that's the reason why these filters are used instead of reducing the aperture.

Thank you, that's one question I was asking myself and you replied very well. So it isn't explaining why the PL25 seems not to have the shallow a DOF of a 1.4 lens.
